Medication is not the problem in itself. The problem is the type of pain and how it is diagonsed/treated.
- The big problem pain is chronic pain and that is not always fixed by opioids. There others drugs and other treatment options.
- Compounding that, your average GP does not understand chronic pain. Or that they should refer patients with intractable to pain specialists - just as they refer to cardiologists etc etc. Is easier to hand over the drugs.
And wait till I get on my soap box ...
